    B The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I, Now, W lives two floors above T’s floor. V lives on the bottommost floor. U lives just above R’s floor. So, we have two cases, Image So, either R or T is just above V’s floor. Therefore, statement I alone is not sufficient.From statement II, Now, R lives three floors above T’s floor. S lives two floors above V’s floor. V and R do not live on adjacent floors. There is at most one floor between U’s and W’s floor. So, the table is shown below, Image So, T lives just above V’s floor.Therefore statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
